I've been sad, I've been lost
I've been down and out and lonely
I've been suffering at a job
In a world that tries to own me

But when I wake up in the morning
There's an image of a better place
'Cause the harder that we grind
Then the sweeter is the glory

People say I'm foolish
People say I'm blinded by faith
But if I run out of air
If I crash I don't care
I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this
You can throw the world in my face
But the fear gives me life
And I swear 'til I die
I'm gonna do it my way

So put me down and criticize me
With your lies and with your parody
In the darkness I don't hide
'Cause I got pride that gives me clarity

Said I still wake up every morning
With the image of a better life
Because the option of defeat
Is just not written in my story

People say I'm foolish
People say I'm blinded by faith
But if I run out of air
If I crash I don't care
I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this
You can throw the world in my face
But the fear gives me life
And I swear 'til I die
I'm gonna do it my way

Every time they build a wall around me
Imma tear it down and say
I'm gonna live my dreams
Gotta live my dreams

Even when the floods rush round to drown me
I just hold my breath and pray
Let me live my dreams
Every single one of my
I ain't quitting none of my dreams

People say I'm foolish
People say I'm blinded by faith
But if I run out of air
If I crash I don't care
I'm gonna do it my way

I can make it through this
You can throw the world in my face
But the fear gives me life
And I swear 'til I die
I'm gonna do it my way

Let me fly through the air
If I crash I don't care
I'm gonna do it my way
'Cause the fear gives me life
And I swear 'til I die
I'm gonna do it my way
